Question 1 of 5
The neurotransmitter released by the sympathetic nervous system postganglionic neuron is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Norepinephrine. The sympathetic postganglionic neurons release norepinephrine as the main neurotransmitter, which acts on target organs to elicit the fight-or-flight response. Norepinephrine is responsible for increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and dilating airways. Acetylcholine is released by preganglionic neurons in both sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, not postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic system. Option C is incorrect as acetylcholine is not typically released by postganglionic sympathetic neurons. Option D, arginine, is not a neurotransmitter commonly associated with the sympathetic nervous system.
